Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 26/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.18% (FIRST EPSS).
- Someone on the same network segment can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: Dell Container Storage Modules (CSM) 1.18.0 or later.
- Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Dell Container Storage Modules (CSM) 1.18.0 or later or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
Dell Container Storage Modules (CSM), versions prior to 1.18.0, contains a Missing Authentication for Critical Function vulnerability in the csm-authorization-tenant gRPC service (TenantService). An unauthenticated adjacent network attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to unauthorized creation of tenant entities, cross-tenant role injection, and modification of storage access control flags.
